also known as Katharine Kelly Heinle
I concentrate my practice on all areas of divorce and family law litigation and mediation, including separation agreements, child custody and parenting plans, alimony, child support, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, paternity, guardianship, modification, and contempt proceedings. In addition to representing one spouse in a family law matter, I am a trained mediator who helps couples amicably resolve their disputes.
I believe in innovative solutions to complex family problems. I am a compassionate advisor, zealous advocate and creative problem solver, blending law and human services to provide my clients with choices, practical legal guidance and strategic advice while staying focused on each particular client’s goals, circumstances and needs. My unique approach offers clients the maximum flexibility to discuss, understand and solve their problems while individualized attention to each client's objectives allows me to help clients confidently navigate through what is often the most stressful and demanding time of their lives.
At Kelly Family Law LLC, our team provides a personal approach that is tailored to the individual needs of each client with a focus on both short and long-term solutions to provide our clients the best possible outcome.
